+.\" DO NOT MODIFY THIS FILE! It was generated by help2man 1.47.3.
+.TH TOUCH "1" "March 2020" "GNU coreutils 8.32" "User Commands"
+.SH NAME
+touch \- change file timestamps
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B touch
+[\fI\,OPTION\/\fR]... \fI\,FILE\/\fR...
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.\" Add any additional description here
+.PP
+Update the access and modification times of each FILE to the current time.
+.PP
+A FILE argument that does not exist is created empty, unless \fB\-c\fR or \fB\-h\fR
+is supplied.
+.PP
+A FILE argument string of \- is handled specially and causes touch to
+change the times of the file associated with standard output.
+.PP
+Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.
+.TP
+\fB\-a\fR
+change only the access time
+.TP
+\fB\-c\fR, \fB\-\-no\-create\fR
+do not create any files
+.TP
+\fB\-d\fR, \fB\-\-date\fR=\fI\,STRING\/\fR
+parse STRING and use it instead of current time
+.TP
+\fB\-f\fR
+(ignored)
+.TP
+\fB\-h\fR, \fB\-\-no\-dereference\fR
+affect each symbolic link instead of any referenced
+file (useful only on systems that can change the
+timestamps of a symlink)
+.TP
+\fB\-m\fR
+change only the modification time
+.TP
+\fB\-r\fR, \fB\-\-reference\fR=\fI\,FILE\/\fR
+use this file's times instead of current time
+.TP
+\fB\-t\fR STAMP
+use [[CC]YY]MMDDhhmm[.ss] instead of current time
+.TP
+\fB\-\-time\fR=\fI\,WORD\/\fR
+change the specified time:
+WORD is access, atime, or use: equivalent to \fB\-a\fR
+WORD is modify or mtime: equivalent to \fB\-m\fR
+.TP
+\fB\-\-help\fR
+display this help and exit
+.TP
+\fB\-\-version\fR
+output version information and exit
+.PP
+Note that the \fB\-d\fR and \fB\-t\fR options accept different time\-date formats.
+.SH "DATE STRING"
+.\" NOTE: keep this paragraph in sync with the one in date.x
+The --date=STRING is a mostly free format human readable date string
+such as "Sun, 29 Feb 2004 16:21:42 -0800" or "2004-02-29 16:21:42" or
+even "next Thursday". A date string may contain items indicating
+calendar date, time of day, time zone, day of week, relative time,
+relative date, and numbers. An empty string indicates the beginning
+of the day. The date string format is more complex than is easily
+documented here but is fully described in the info documentation.
